I just rwprinted the petal template & measured it ( the smalker one right?) and it comes out to only 3 1/2 long and 2 1/4 wide at widest part. Am i supposed to use inside smaller one or not? I can just enlarge it to correct size youve requested but I want to clarify. I see thst u confirmed it already previously but the fact that i havent been able to get the same neasurements u requested on anything yet has been tough. So sorry. I just want to be sure I make it how you want and dont understand what I am doing wrong. I've never had this problem before.elfqueenof5https://www.blogger.com/profile/03355017128896217104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966719247111983224.post-29387681905055160012012-03-14T20:23:22.298-04:002012-03-14T20:23:22.298-04:00I'm sorry I guess next time I will have to mak...I'm sorry I guess next time I will have to make clearer directions.

What could I have done wrong? I dont want to start until I get some advice because this is the 3rd one I've attempted. The first, I used what I had on hand and the strips just weren't long enough to cut the triangle to make the block. The 2nd attempt I accidentally put the dark fabric on the outside, cuz' my daughter is watching tv in my studio and I got distracted.
